Murky depths await us where we now tread. The path leads us into the darkest regions of myth, though we have a torch of knowledge, and a compass of understanding to guide our way through the carnivorous caverns and lurking jaws of time and space. Just as angels, and saviors, and prophets of the world have found their universal sanctuary in the mountainous cave structures of history, so too have the beasts of the shadows hid and calculated their moments of influence and manipulation upon an unsuspecting world. Among the variety of tools, artwork, weaponry, pottery and sculptures attributed to our 'Cavite' ancestors, so too do we find a large number of carven idols designated in honor of the shining goddess figure. Hundreds of statues have been found around the world which depict veneration of an icon of the Cosmic Mother.
It's an understatement to say that the organization known as the Bohemian Club is extremely secretive and shrouded in mystery. There is no 100% certifiable account establishing how this society developed and much of the information which is available is largely based upon speculation and vague research. According to public relations at the club, the Bohemian Grove was founded in 1872 by five newspapermen, as well as a local merchant and a Shakespearean actor from San Francisco. The first known meeting at the Grove did not officially take place until 1879, and shortly afterward this custom became an annual tradition that has continued consecutively for over one hundred and twenty-five years. The most well known ceremony is referred to as the 'Cremation of Care', or 'dull care', in which festivities are held including opera, music, poetry and literature, as well as plays that the 'Bohos' produce and write themselves.
Two original articles I feel the need to recycle every year around this time as we enter worldwide Beltane celebrations. The research that went into these two pieces was fairly extensive (resulting in some 40 pages worth of material), so hope you'll bookmark it and check them out over the week.
